Profits 300 to 500 Per Cent, The sewing machine, one of the greatest blessings in the way of ma- ohines ever offered the public, sold for years at sixty dollars in the United States, The same machine, however, to be shipped to a foreign land, could be purchased below twenty dollars. After the patents ran out the price foll rapidly until now sewing machines are sold for twenty-five dollars and of- ten below twenty dollars. The sew- ing machine manufacturers became immensely rich from their profits of several hundred per cent. It has been estimated that typewriting ma- chines cost less than twenty dollars to build, while they sell for from fifty | dollars to one hundred dollars each. | It is generally understood that an | agreement exists whereby these high | prices are maintained. Business men are compelled to pay from 300 to 500 per cent. profit or go without the ma- | chines. Are there any other machines which yield such profits as the sewing ma- chine did for years and the type- writing machine has and does, except | it be the bicycle?
